(P&R Publishing, 2007), pb., 260 pp.
Age 10 & up
This is the first volume in Bond’s new series which continues to follow the M’Kethe family, who were introduced in the Crown & Covenant Series
. The previous series closed with Duncan and Angus leading their family to America. This story opens with the family settled in Connecticut just before the French & Indian War. Malcom, Duncan’s son, is now a grandfather, helping to raise his grandson, Ian, who is the main character. Ian’s father has died, so Father Malcolm, as he is called, lives with his family. Ian’s cousin and best friend, Roland, is also a key character.
The story follows the family through the rising tensions with the French into the War | itself. Also, they must deal with the rise of rationalism and its skepticism about the Bible. Along the way they even have an opportunity to hear Jonathan Edwards preach. Ian wrestles with his doubts and fears, and must face | [

Fear, Threat Inflation, and Public Choice
In Foreign Affairs, Micah Zenko and Michael A. Cohen argue that despite the constant fear-mongering and threat inflation in America, we are actually very secure and face very few, very minor external threats. And one of the reasons we have a system that fuels unnecessary alarm and paranoia?
Warnings about a dangerous world also benefit powerful bureaucratic interests. The specter of looming dangers sustains and justifies the massive budgets of the military and the intelligence agencies, along with the national security infrastructure that exists outside government — defense contractors, lobbying groups, think tanks, and academic departments.
Ah yes, the public choice of U.S. warfare. This is why most Americans are terrified of Iran, China, and North Korea, despite the near-impossibility that any of them could pose an actual military threat to America. It’s | why they’re concerned about terrorist attacks but not about heart disease. It pushes the military budget to $1 trillion, more than the rest of the world combined. Indeed, the dangers we do face are largely the result of the excessive warfarism | [

First of all, I love the fact that this water bottle was invented by two moms! Stephanie Michaels & Jill Bryman were tired of juggling their water bottles, keys, supplements, cell phones and gym membership cards when it came time to hit the gym! They came up with the idea for a water bottle that could double as storage for all these items…and the Sport + Store water bottle was born!
On top, the Sport + Store is a 20-ounce, stainless steel water bottle. On the bottom, it has a storage reservoir to hold your belongings.
I love mine! It keeps my water cold, and I can keep my keys or garage door opener in the storage compartment when I go out for a walk. The Sport + Store water bottle is ideal for moms who already have to juggle diaper bags and strollers when they are out & about running errands or at the park! They would also make great water bottles for kids with the extra storage for all their stuff…Chap Stick, toy cars, rocks they might pick up along the way (maybe that’s just mine…)
The Sport + Store is ergonomically designed, lightweight, durable, and BPA & lead free. And because it’s reusable, it offers an alternative | to the millions of plastic bottles that are discarded daily…making it environmentally friendly, too!!

USCIS Suggests Leniency In Relation to Individuals Affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
The USCIS has issued a series of remedial measures to respond to the destruction caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The proposed measures will cover individuals and entities who can establish that they lived, worked or ran their professional business/entity in an affected area of Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama at the time of Hurricane Katrina or an affected area of Texas or Louisiana at the time of Hurricane Rita. Individuals do not need to currently reside in those areas. Because it may be hard to procure necessary immigration-related documentation, USCIS will perform systems or other checks to verify that individuals lived/worked in the affected areas.
In the USCIS guidance notice, it is suggested that adjudicators exercise their discretion to forgive lapses in status in connection with an extension of status or change of status application for individuals affected by the Hurricanes. Further, adjudicators are guided to be liberal in allowing aliens who are no longer in status due to the Hurricanes to extend of change their status, regardless of when such applications may have been filed (as long as the application was filed no later than one year after the dates of the Hurricanes). Adjudicators | will forgive untimely filings whenever they are directly related to the Hurricanes.

Senate Electronic Filing -- If Everybody Loves it, Why Hasn't it Happened?
Sen. Jon Tester's bill, which may be one of the shortest on the docket, would simply require Senate campaigns to file their reports directly with the Federal Election Commission, which would have the effect of requiring them to be filed electronically in nearly every case. Kind of like the House campaigns have been doing for more than a decade now, along with nearly every PAC and party committee and every presidential candidate starting in 2000... oh, and at least half of the state legislatures around the country.
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the Rules Committee chairman, expressed his support, as did Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the ranking GOP member, as did Sen. Tom Udall (D-N.M.), | the only other committee member in attendance. This same consensus has been voiced in sessions like this on several occasions over the years (there are 24 cosponsors of the bill, including several Republicans) but somehow, whenever this or similar legislation has gotten close to a floor vote, something happens to stop it. Sometimes the obstacle is an amendment without the same widespread support, or sometimes it's a mysterious "hold."
In the meantime, the Secretary of the Senate continues to receive and process hundreds of thousands of pages of paper reports, which the FEC then spends hundreds of thousands of dollars turning into data | [

LOL – now he knows what it means – must have been David Cameron’s reaction after reading Lord Leveson’s report on the culture, practice and ethics of the UK press. First came an audible sigh of relief over the vindication of his own reputation, which– despite inappropriate platonic text dalliance with La Brooks, now awaiting Her Majesty’s Pleasure on several criminal charges; oh, and former prime ministerial comms director Andy Coulson, let’s not forget him – received not a brickbat; then a guffaw over the exoneration of his health and former culture secretary Jeremy Hunt, once he realised Leveson had whitewashed his role in the BSkyB/Murdoch saga at the expense of Hunt’s mendacious adviser, Adam Smith.
But the biggest laugh of all was surely reserved for Leveson’s keystone proposal: a | statutory “underpinning” to press regulation. Over Cameron’s dead body. The introduction of any such measure, however camouflaged, would be tantamount to the Tory leader committing political suicide.
This “underpinning” business is the crux of the report, and the reason why it – like the 7 inquests into the power of the press over the last 70 years preceding it – will be kicked into the long grass as soon as dignity allows.

The esoteric world of economists is reveling in the attention the ideas put forth to revive our languishing economy have generated. I have watched with interest as the normally tepid prose of the profession becomes more heated (OK - warmed) as various proposals are offered.
One powerful argument is represented by Greg Mankiw, who offers (to me at least) persuasive reasons why tax cuts at the top and to businesses will give us the biggest bang for the buck. He has also offered reasoned arguments on the issue of growing inequality over the past few years.
However, this position strikes me as politically tone-deaf, particularly when considering the source. As an architect of tax cut dogma and a proponent of the more valid but likely futile gas tax concept, Prof. Mankiw has perched safely with his status quo supporters on pedantic high ground. And he seems to think the current recession is unconnected with his advice to tax-cutters. His | involvement in the mess we are in right now was last semester, apparently.
If he really believed there was the possibility of fiscal control to match the much-advocated tax cuts, it would be a simple mistake.

Mass Migration, Ageing Nations and the Coming Population Crash
Wherever we look, population is the driver of the most toxic issues on the political agenda. But the population bomb is being defused. Half the world's women are having two children or fewer. Within a generation, the world's population will be falling. And we will all be getting very old.
So should we welcome the return to centre stage of the | tribal elders? Or is humanity facing a fate worse than environmental apocalypse?
Brilliant, heretical and accessible to all, Fred Pearce takes on the matter that is fundamental to who we are and how we live, confronting our demographic demons.

In Refusing to Hear My Case, the Supreme Court Has Put the World's Peace and Order in Danger
Last week the Supreme Court of the United States of America refused to hear my case. This eliminates any remaining hope for me of obtaining justice through the U.S. judicial system against US officials who sent me to Syria to be tortured.
Let me emphasize the fact that my case is not an isolated one. My case is unique in the sense that I was the only person who was rendered from US soil.

The Santa Cruz county Sheriff's department have finalized their investigation into sexual assault allegations against San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval, concluding that there is not enough evidence to press any charges against the All-Star, according to CSN Bay Area.
An official press release from the Sheriff's department noted that while no charges were filed, the case will be sent over to the district attorney for further review.

I wonder if I’m in competition with another anime geek who watches many of the same shows as I do. When I drop by the anime store, a lot of the fansubbed tapes I want seem to have been borrowed by this guy who has a bad habit of returning them late. Coincidence? I think not.

Flying Out to GJ 436 and its Planets
Astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have detected what they believe is an alien world just two-thirds the size of Earth - one of the smallest on record. The exoplanet candidate, known as UCF-1.01, orbits a star called GJ 436, which is located a mere 33 light-years away. UCF-1.01 might be the nearest world to our solar system that is smaller than our home planet.
This artist's animation depicts a Star Trek-like voyage out to GJ 436, finished with a flyby of UCF-1.01.
Starting from Earth, we quickly zoom out of the solar system into our sun's local neighborhood, populated by the closest stars that lie within a few light-years of Earth. Swinging around, we shift our attention to the dwarf star GJ 436, which is so faint that it is invisible to us until we get close enough to see its dim glow.
Because of GJ 436's proximity to our solar system, the | star field around it shares many of our culture's famous cosmic landmarks. As we circle around the faint star, the constellation of Orion moves into view on the right, though in a distorted shape compared to our vantage point on Earth.

Too much shellfish, you say?

CORNER BROOK — The Idle No More movement may have started as opposition to Bill C-45, but Ashley White believes it’s turned into something more.
“I think Idle No More is a movement about actually standing up and taking action now against things like Bill C-45,” said White.
The young woman from St. George’s, who now lives in Corner Brook, acted as emcee for an Idle No More rally in the city on Sunday.
“My biggest concern about this movement is the choices we make that affect the environment,” said White. “We need to really take time and think about the damage that we’re doing. We can’t say in five years with the next government that we elect, ‘Oh that was a really bad idea, let’s rewind.’”
She added the movement is not just about things that are happening elsewhere in the country or the world, but also issues here at home like the proposed drilling in the city’s watershed.
“If people are concerned, these are the issues they need to speak out about,” White said. “Don’t be idle when it comes to these things.”
Sunday’s rally was organized by The Four O’Clock Whistle. The group produces an independent community publication and, | while she is not an official member, White does drop into meetings and submit writings to the publication. She said the group initially wanted to put out an Idle No More information pamphlet, but the more it was discussed the idea turned to holding a rally. The timing was set to coincide with other rallies being held all over the world on Sunday and Monday.

I recently received an email forward from a friend (attached below) warning about the dangers of Monosodium Glutamate, or MSG. The email had all the classic markers of a chain email that mixes plausible sounding things with vague studies to come up with a scary message, so I took a closer look at MSG, and here are my thoughts.
One of my basic tenets is to seek to ground my research in the scientific method when I am exploring alternative cures and solutions to common health issues. Without the scientific method, we cannot arrive at facts; merely at opinions.
1. Context :
I wanted to believe that MSG is bad, and is the cause of a lot of illness in this world. Any food additive that is added to packaged foods and restaurant meals should be given the presumption of guilt, in my opinion. This is the view with which I approached the subject.
2. Scientific basis:
So far, I found | no scientific basis for considering MSG as fundamentally evil. Not one study in a decent academic journal has shown that MSG is in and of itself is bad. Having said that, there are countless anecdotes about how people were having headaches, allergies, etc. actively stopped taking MSG and were cured.

3. The origin of MSG and tastebud connection:
Did you know that Glutamate naturally occurs in human breast milk, at ten times the level found in cows milk! It seems reasonable that humans find MSG irresistible because in the development of the human species | [

But as I worked my way through Beard's books, I kept coming across the name Mary Ritter Beard. Yes, she was his wife. She also was a historian in her own right.

Perth motorists could save themselves $150 a year simply by changing the day they buy their petrol.

Newt and His Surprising Liberal Allies
He’s not the only one who thinks there is a huge problem with giving the Supreme Court final say on the Constitution.
Photograph by Matthew Cavanaugh/Getty Images.
Newt Gingrich has turned his guns on the federal judiciary, and a lot of predictable squealing—from both left and right—about the threat to the rule of law has resulted. But Gingrich’s public statements, and a more elaborate position paper posted at his website, deserve serious consideration.
The brouhaha began at the last Republican presidential debate when Gingrich declared that “the courts have become grotesquely dictatorial, far too powerful, and I think, frankly, arrogant in their misreading of the American people.” In a subsequent TV interview, as well as in the position paper, Gingrich argued that when the president and Congress believe that the judiciary has rendered decisions that violate the Constitution, they should be willing to impeach judges, strip them of jurisdiction, haul them before congressional committees, | and abolish courts.
The position paper, “Bringing the Courts Back Under the Constitution,” challenges the theory of judicial supremacy, which holds that the courts enjoy the last word on the meaning of the Constitution.

I purchased the Charm School Lesson 6 pattern from Quilted Quickes (actually got it from Fat Quarter Shop – it looked easy enough!). I have been reading and reading the instructions and I am SO confused! If you can help me or have any ideas, please let me know!
First, I am to cut 8 of the 5″ squares in half to give me 16 2 1/2″x5″ pieces. That I can handle ;) … but the next instructions are throwing me for a loop. They say:
Cut 2 2 | 1/2″ strips from the fabric designated for the checker squares.
Now, all I know is that I am to have 1 1/8 yard of fabric for the checker squares, outer border and game bags. so I’m wondering… 2 1/2″x what??? Then it says:
Place checker square fabric strip (again, I am unsure of the dimensions of said fabric strip) facing up and place a 2 1/2″x5″ strip (cut from the charms in step above) right side down on | [

In most JVMs there is no confusion between memory allocated for the application and memory allocated by the running of the VM itself (for example a call to malloc() within the JIT). However, in Jikes RVM, the VM and the application are both written in Java. Moreover, they currently share the same heap. It would be very desirable to improve this situation and separately allocate VM and application objects. Aside from cleaner accounting and behaving more like a production JVM, there may be opportunities for performance optimizations since the lifetimes of objects created by the JIT will typically be bounded by the invocation of a single compilation, as an example.
This project would | start by identifying all transitions from the application into the VM proper and channeling all such transitions through a zero-cost "trap", which simply serves as a marker. The trap can be viewed as analogous to a kernel trap in the | [

Students pursue the Master of Theological Studies (MTS) degree for a variety of reasons, including to prepare for careers in social work, Christian publishing, public policy, or parachurch ministry. Some pursue the MTS for personal enrichment or to become more informed laypersons.
Whereas many other schools typically assign a certain number of credits (usually three) to standard courses, Palmer's "currency" is the unit. Most regular, semester-long courses at Palmer are 2-unit courses. Earning the MTS degree requires the successful completion of at least 32 units.
Courses are divided generally into required core courses and electives, some of which require the completion of prerequisite core courses. Full-time students typically complete the | MTS in two years. Those who take heavier semester course loads and/or avail themselves of summer and January term offerings can complete the degree in a year and a half.
MTS students at Palmer have the option (but are not required) to choose one of three concentrations: (1) Biblical Studies and Theology, (2) Christian Faith and Public Policy, and (3) Christian counseling. In addition to coursework, each of these concentrations includes summative requirements such as research papers or internships.

WACO, TX — Inmates at one Central Texas jail will no longer have access to microwave ovens.
They were removed Monday from the McLennan County Jail.
County commissioners last summer refused to allot $85,000 for upgrading the jail's wiring after microwaves overloaded the electrical system.
Sheriff Parnell McNamara says the 47 microwaves posed a safety risk because some inmates have thrown hot liquids on others.
McNamara also says they were an unwarranted luxury for those accused | of violating the law.
The microwaves were bought with proceeds from the jail's commissary fund -- not with taxpayer dollars. Each was shared by two dozen inmates and used under jailer supervision.

Is IT the answer to reducing the cost of healthcare? My feeling is that it can have a positive influence, since any paper-based system is going to be far more labor intensive and error prone. We have seen the benefits of real-time electronic claims in pharmacy. I can't imagine any pharmacist wanting to go back to paper claims. Yet even electronic systems are not the panacea once thought of as the solution to error reduction. I am hearing about error issues with electronic prescriptions. Keep in mind, however, that e-prescribing is still a learning experience.
There was an editorial in The New York Times in November that was headlined "The High Cost of Health Care." It examined the causes of this and the solutions, and asked the question, "Who picks up | the tab?" In the solutions section, information technologies made the list, along with prevention, disease management, and drug prices. The editorial pointed out that healthcare lags well behind other sectors of the economy in the use of information technologies, and that this country lags behind foreign medical systems when it comes to using computers, electronic medical records, and electronic information sharing. The conclusion was that there is a need for "capital infusion" if we are going to see a quick exit from paper-based systems.
Let's go back to electronic prescriptions. These are clearly on the rise, based on a SureScripts report (see Industry Watch | [

Greek Orthodoxy - From Apostolic Times to the Present Day
Excerpts in 22 Pages, from Constantelos' The Historical Development of Greek Orthodoxy; full text at the Church of Greece. Here published with Notes, Study Links and Illustration by Elpenor
GREEK and Greek-speaking Christians constituted the greater part of the early Church. With the diffusion of Hellenism, as early as the fourth century before the Christian era, the Greeks had come to constitute a very important if not a dominant element in the Near East and North Africa, especially in the large and metropolitan cities. It was because of this Greek world expansion that the rise of Christianity as a world religion was made possible. …
The first contact of the Greeks with Christ is related by the author of the Fourth Gospel. He writes that some Greeks among those who used to visit Jerusalem at the Passover approached Philip and Andrew and asked to see Jesus (Jn. 12.20-24). The Greeks, as seekers after truth, were eager to listen to something novel, to meet | the new master. …
Jesus was aware that the Greeks who came to Him were men with a searching mind and a troubled spirit. Upon His confrontation with them, He exclaimed, "The hour has come for the son of man to be | [

Camy here. I use Randy Ingermanson's Snowflake method, and I realized that the 5-sentence summary in step 2 is an easy, painless way of creating a 30-second verbal pitch. The 5-sentence summary consists of story setup, three plot disasters and lastly the ending/resolution.

Sony's as-yet-unannounced PlayStation phone could be one of the worst-kept secrets in the technology industry.
The images appear to show a PlayStation phone in full working condition. According to Engadget, which first discovered the leak, the device in the images features a 4-inch touch display, 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash, a microSD slot, and a micro-USB port, among other features.
The smartphone in the images boasts slide-out PlayStation controls, including Sony's familiar D-pad and controller buttons. The smartphone and gaming device is branded with Sony Ericsson's Xperia logo.
The phone closely resembles devices featured in previous videos and images that have hit the Web.
Speculation abounds that Sony will unveil the device in February at Mobile World Congress. However, Sony Ericsson has been tight-lipped about the PlayStation phone. There's currently no telling what games the device will accommodate, and pricing and availability are a question mark. The company hasn't even offered any concrete clues that it will be announcing the smartphone anytime soon.
Regardless, Sony Computer Entertainment needs something to jump-start its ailing PSP business, and working with Sony Ericsson might be the best way to do it.
In | August, the last month NPD reported sales figures, Sony sold just 79,400 PSP units, down nearly 50 percent from the 140,300 units it sold in August 2009. Moreover, GameStop said in November that the PSP has been "a disappointment" for the company at retail.
But that hasn't caused Sony to consider dumping the PSP entirely. Last month, Sony Computer Entertainment chief Kaz Hirai indicated that his company might soon offer a PSP with a touch screen.

OWS Activists Called Domestic Terrorists
OWS Activists Called Domestic Terrorists
by Stephen Lendman
US history is littered with repressive laws. Constitutional protections and civil liberties have been targeted. The 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts restricted First Amendment freedoms.
So did the 1917 Espionage Act, 1919 anti-communist Palmer raids, 1934 Special Committee on Un-American Activities, its House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) successor, FBI COINTELPRO crackdowns, 1996 Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act, 2001 USA Patriot Act, and other post-9/11 measures.

What is the Lameness LocatorTM for horses?
The UF Equine Lameness & Imaging service uses the Lameness LocatorTM which may be included in lameness examinations. The Lameness LocatorTM is a wireless motion analysis system that uses sensors to detect asymmetries in gait that may not be seen by the human eye. The sensor data is based on algorithms developed by years of extensive motion analysis research.
How does the Lameness LocatorTM work?
Motion sensors are placed on the horse’s poll, pastern and pelvis, and are wirelessly tracked by a portable computer. The quantifiable data is transmitted to the computer | instantly, helping pinpoint subtle, difficult or multiple lamenesses and quantitate lameness of all varieties. The sensors weigh less than 30 grams each and do not affect the evaluation.
The data from the sensors can show the location (limb(s)) of asymmetry in the gait, the severity of the lameness, and at what stance in the gait the lameness appears.
When is the Lameness LocatorTM helpful?
The Lameness LocatorTM is a unique diagnostic tool that aids in the diagnosis of lameness | [
